re:New and comparing the in comparable

Hi :)

 ,i'm new here and to cut a  long story short i am about to venture 
into the world of hardware modulars (ive used a nord mod for many 
years but . . 

I popped up here to ask a few questions regards the Cynthia modules.

Our studio has decided to build over time a large modular , the idea 
is to build something which can run 4- 6  monophonic parts minimum 
for now  , whether special fx which mix and merge or seperate  ' 
melodic lines '  , my problem is i started looking at modules and 
thought , ok , 

1 x quad bandpass
1 x lowpass gates
1 x staircase 
1 x gate sequencer
1 x super psycho 
1 x logipac
1 x  . . . . etc



etc etc and then i came to randivide and were like heaviliy into 
random here , and next thing i know its like , do we 'need ' 4 of 
these ? dont ask me why my head goes like this , i then start 
thinking  , maybe 2 super psycho  . . . .but whats a  good balance 
of modules.I know what filters we need and what Vco i think :)

' then i start thinking -  maybe 2 x quad bandpass whilst there being 
built ! and maybe 2 of the  lowpass gates , i think i am suffering 
from 

 ' build a modular but not sure what i need and what if these modules 
as limited editions go out of production :) ' syndrome.

Our aim is to create complex autocompositions though and  so i know 
we need to build a bit bigger than a single module system.

 i know this is an possible unanswerable question ! the system will 
focus heavily on special fx and noise effects , the ran divide i can 
see  us using alot. 

i know there is no over the top or end to this when it comes to 'how 
many '. 

has anyone here any feedback on what you find you wish you had more 
of ? i guess that sums it up or where we should begin ?If i wanted to 
create a 4 part composition using digital noise as the source do i 
need 4 ran divide ?

I working on the basis of what i do alot with the nord , 4 part 
evolving morphing stuff .

Hope someone can make sense of my logic ? Ps is 1 logic pack 
enough :)?

(i just heard someone say , you can never have enough !)
